Inventory Options

Inventory Referral

The recruiter will search the inventory for qualified members and complete screening based on job requirements for a specific vacancy. Information obtained from the questionnaire, skill testing, and phone interview (if applicable) is used to match inventory members to jobs. Inventory members that meet the requirements are referred to the hiring manager for consideration. If a business need is identified to expedite the hiring process, a random selection of applicants meeting all of the job criteria may be used. This means not all qualified applicants may be referred to the hiring manager.

Posting

Some vacancies are advertised on the BC Public Service job opportunities website. When a vacancy is posted, inventory members interested in the job must apply online to be considered. Inventory postings are under the category “Inventory.” Only inventory members are eligible for consideration.

Secondary Application

Vacancies in job specific inventories are advertised using an email notification in the form of an “invitation to complete secondary application.” To apply, inventory members must complete a secondary application by the posting deadline. Only members of the inventory can view the job posting through their resume profile in the Recruitment Management System.

Your hiring request will be expedited and a recruiter will contact you regarding your posting

Since inventory members are already pre-qualified, you have the option of administering additional assessments or moving straight to the interview process, followed by any applicable past work performance checks
